Keep tractor units moving across London & the South East with temporary C+E drivers matched to the trailer and the route.
Class 1 cover starts with the trailer and the route, then the driver.
Trailer work out of London Gateway and the Thames Gateway, Park Royal, Enfield and the Heathrow airfreight belt rarely waits for a replacement to be found. Our job is to find one who can take the unit the same week.
For Newham operators we cover single nights, full weeks and ongoing trunk assignments. Planned cover can be booked ahead; urgent cover is handled as it lands.
Much of the Class 1 work across London & the South East depends on the M25 orbital, the A13 and A406, Heathrow Airport and the deep-water ports at London Gateway and Tilbury, where a late start can cost a delivery slot at the other end of the country.
Lorries over 3.5 tonnes in Greater London fall under the Low Emission Zone rather than the ULEZ. Lorries over 12 tonnes also need a valid HGV safety permit, so we check your units before we book.
Where temporary C+E drivers make the biggest difference.
Site rules, the unit, the first job and who to report to — before the driver arrives.
If the cover needs extending, you tell us and we plan the next shifts.
Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.
A temporary C+E driver who has pulled your trailer type before needs less induction and settles into the route faster.
Retail distribution for supermarkets and big-box stores carries its own rules on delivery slots, paperwork and yard safety. We brief drivers on the site's rules before they arrive.
For a Class 1 request, include:
Driver CPC means 35 hours of periodic training every five years. We confirm it is current, along with C+E entitlement, the tacho card and right to work.
A Class 1 driver who knows coupling checks, load security and the daily walkaround check protects your unit and your operator's licence record.
